Magic Marmalade 9th Feb 2017		Review Having now tried the mono SAGAs, including this one, I have to say it really comes purely down to recording technique and equipment, that separates these from the "premium" labels, that command the higher prices... ... because the vinyl quality, the sleeves, and, with regards to the music on the disc, the clarity amd weight is all comparable, it's all here... ... It's just that those other labels (Decca, HMV, Columbia (etc.)) applied more resources in the recording stage. This results in a more "in the room, happening right now", kind of immersive experience. Whereas these, which have all that detail, clarity and so on, have a slightly more "over there" kind of sound. It's very definitely emanating from your system speakers, rather than in your head. This isn't actually such a noticable thing with this particular album, as it's just a cosy selection of trios, so not much is lost, because there was never an orchestra to lose, and all the intricate detail of this weaving Mozart work is clear and can be discerned easily, but the other one (Haydn) which is a more orchestral work, sounds a litlle - I believe the word is: "brighter" than it oughta. The recording method struggles a little with all the extras. What may confer a little more value on this particular album (sporadically, oddly), is that it features one of those big classical names, performing a great work by a top composer, and which would require you to sell a family member to afford on one of those other mentioned labels. So these SAGAs afford the opportunity to access those kind of works cheaper... but of course, everyone thinks the same, so it elevates these second tier label issues slightly in value. So my rule of thumb would be for these: If it is a more intimate work, with anything only up to a handful of performers at a time, they represent a real bargain, and are well worth buying... but anything more than that, like a big orchestral work, you need a bigger label... and deeper pockets. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
